In the mind of Australian media and other western MSM, China does not exist in the stage of COVID fighting. So of course they will say "AZ is the most used", just like when talking about the best performer of COVID containment, they always talk about SK, Japan, Singapore and even Vietnam as if China doesn't exist.This article claims AZ is the world's most widely used vaccine, yet according to this:
Of the 2.6 billion doses administered globally, 1 billion comes from China and 0.3 billion from US. Neither country uses AZ. Therefore, the claim that AZ is the "most widely used vaccine" seems highly dubious.
Unfortunately I was not able to find any actual numbers for a definitive answer.
This page says AZ is the most sought after vaccine with 3 billion doses ordered:
However, "ordered" does not mean administered, or even manufactured. Furthermore, this statistic is suspect of itself, as the Chinese vaccines together only add up to less than 600 million.
So does anyone have definitive numbers for vaccine administration worldwide?
This is how the west comfort themselves. We don't need to dig numbers to convince ourselves that they are wrong.
